applying a function to each array element

Hello all -

I would like to use the is_numeric() function to check each element of
an array. I am just looking for a false if any element is not numeric,
or a true if each element is numeric.

Can I do this with a single function in a single like, or do I have to
do a foreach{ ... break() } structure?

You need to use a loop. is_numeric() will just return false on an
array, because the array is not a numeric value.

You can do so. But it may be more difficult to understand:

$result = (count(array_fi lter($arr, "is_numeric " ))=count($arr))

or try this:

$result = !in_array(false , array_map("is_n umeric", $arr))
or try this:

Once declare r_is_numeric like this:

function r_is_numeric($l ogic, $element)
{
$logic = $logic and is_numeric($ele ment);
return $logic;
}

All you need is:

$result = array_reduce($a rr, "r_is_numer ic", true);

My two cents:

function is_numeric_arra y(&$array){
foreach($array as $i){
if(!is_numeric( $ic)){
return FALSE;
}
}
return TRUE;
}

Is there an optimal way to apply a function to the elements of a two-d array? What I'd like to do is define some function: def plone(x): return x+1 and then apply it elementwise to a 2-D numarray. I intend to treat the function as a variable, so ufuncs are probably not appropriate-- I

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
